Charlotte House, hotel in Lincoln

Beautiful 1930's Art Deco building directly opposite Lincoln Castle and only a few minutes' walk from the Cathedral and historic Bailgate, with its selection of independent shops and restaurants.

People who work there - helpful and friendly; great breakfast (you undersell it by calling it a continental breakfast, which in my experience tend to be simply a coffee and a croissant, or toast); comfortable, warm room with windows that open (uncommon these days) and funky furniture.

Located next to the Lincoln Castle, the Grade II Listed Hotel offers individually styled rooms including Wi-Fi and luxury private bathrooms.

I especially like the location of the hotel. It is very close to the castle and cathedral. This was my second stay at Castle Hotel, and plan to stay there in the future.

Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Lincoln

Less than a mile from Lincoln center, this Holiday Inn Express offers a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi and an inclusive buffet breakfast.

I found it easily and was able to park (despite having to pay for that). The staff were very friendly and helpful which is reassuring as a solo female traveler. The room was spacious and comfortable - the quilt was a little too heavy for me but that’s personal choice! Good breakfast buffet choice. Great location for exploring Lincoln. I would just say it was expensive but I did book it last minute.

FAQs about hotels in Lincoln

The Glory of Medieval England

Lincoln was a powerhouse of medieval England and retains amazing monuments from that period. In the Uphill district is the castle built for William the Conqueror. Inside its an original copy of the Magna Carta and its ramparts offer fabulous city views. Across the cobbled square which houses the large Christmas market is huge Lincoln Cathedral whose unusual façade features 2 tall towers, while another at its centre overlooks the Bishop’s Palace.

Connecting the cathedral quarter with the Downhill district is aptly named Steep Hill, a narrow street lined with unique shops and historic buildings including the Jew’s House. Even older are the Roman Newport Arch, Mint Wall and the well on Bailgate.

This road slopes down to meet the River Witham at High Bridge, a stone-arched structure with a half-timbered building atop that is the oldest of its kind in England. Lincoln boat trips depart from the Brayford Pool just west.

Another monument is the 18th-century Ellis Mill, opposite the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The Collection combines an archaeology museum and art gallery, while The Lawn has a conference centre and the Joseph Banks Conservatory, displaying artefacts he brought back from adventures with Captain Cook.

Booking.com’s Lincoln accommodation covers luxury waterfront hotels, guest houses by the university and cheap apartments near the train station.

    Lincoln has a historic area around the cathedral and castle and a more provincial town area. The historic area is accessed via quite steep hills - you need to be relatively fit. There are several good restaurants in Lincoln. I would particularly recommend the superb Jews House Restaurant.

    Loved the old part at the top of Steep Hill with the Cathedral and castle and down at the bottom by the waterfront. Free tours of the town and people very friendly. Lots of places to eat but our 2 course set lunch at Lawson's restaurant on The Strait, was exceptional. There is a Ride and Walk bus which is great value if you need help going up and down that hill!

    The cathedral and cathedral quarter is far and away best feature. The castle with Victorian prison is also interesting. Not keen on the main town centre. Bomber Command centre also well worth a visit just south of Lincoln.

    Lincoln is an amazing city; there is so much history and the centre is full of character. Some of the steepest streets may be inaccessible to anyone with limited mobility. We visited on Sunday and Monday and many restaurants are closed on both days so will pay a little more for our hotel the next time, and avoid these days.

    Cathedral visit very rewarding for those interested in mediaeval architecture. The steep Street leading to the town centre is attractive and has interesting shops. Climbing back up will be a challenge for a lot of people, but I caught a local bus back to the hotel at the top of the hill.

    Overall a lovely holiday in Lincoln but there are issues with the townhouse that the hotel should have resolved before it was made available. It's disappointing because the townhouse is beautiful with good facilities, wonderful hotel service as well as unexpected extras. However, there are some clear teething issues with this new property. I have made a complaint about the issues we experienced in the townhouse and I was thanked for my constructive feedback - which is helpful as the failings were at least acknowledged.

    The room and location are exceptional. So close to the main attractions in Lincoln and many lovely pubs and eateries. The breakfast was one of the nicest I've had in a hotel and the staff were all so friendly and lovely, they honestly couldn't do enough for you always trying to go above and beyond. I definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    The check-in is easy and welcoming. The rooms are clean and comfortable. There is nothing to complain about at all. We were coming to a gig at the Drill Hall and the hotel was about a 10 minute walk away. It is a fab location so close to everything Lincoln has to offer.

    The location is great for access to A1 or to Lincoln. The view is not good, no scenery! I came up from London to see friends, the hotel was comfortable and quiet. The price was reasonable. I didn’t bother with breakfast in Damon’s restaurant with 20% off.
